Joubert has pulled a rabbit out the hat with this team. I don't think anyone (other than the players) thought they would still be playing at this point in the season. This reminds me of the 2012 run when a similar Kountze team upset Edgewood in the Reg. Semis and almost knocked off #1 White Oak in the Regional Finals.
Someone from EC could probably chime in since they've seen both Kountze and East Bernard this year. EC played them close in the 1st round until EB went on a run to close the game out. They were actually tied up in the 4th quarter.
They lost to Hitchcock and La Marque in district but also beat La Marque. I wonder how they deal with pressure. We'll see on Tuesday.
Game starts at 7pm at Lee College in Baytown.
If their post is good we're going to struggle. For some reason we stopped pressing against Newton and they started attacking the rim and their shots started to fall.
It's been the same since '93. The full-court press started with Coach Green who's now at North Shore. We weren't as big back then though. Just fast, athletic, and played much better defense.
You remember well. Thanks for bringing back those memories. There was so much riding on that game for us. We had lost in the Regional finals two years straight before that. We were so happy to finally get over the hump. It was so bad that we showed up to Austin that next week "just happy to be there" and played like it for 3 quarters.
